- JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA — CASE UNFOLDS. A team of South African lawyers said Wednesday that it had corroborated some of the assertions made by a convicted murderer who said he served with a police assassination squad that killed and terrorized opponents of apartheid. But the lawyers said that an independent judicial inquiry was necessary to disclose the full truth of the affair, which is developing into the first scandal confronting the country's new president, F.W. de Klerk. Such an inquiry would have the authority to hold open hearings and to subpoena witnesses and police records.
